The minimum registration donation is $20 per person. For schools teams that have 10 or more students registered, the minimum donation is $15.00 per person. As always walkers will enjoy breakfast, lunch, face painting, meeting Greg-T from Z-100, taking picture with USA Skateasauras and receiving great give-a-ways from the Walk-Along`s generous sponsors.

The money raised at the Walk-Along for Lupus provides the main source of funding for the Lupus Alliance of LIQ`s educational, supportive and financial programs and services that are available to those living with lupus, as well as to their families in the Nassau, Suffolk and Queens communities.
